An agreement was reached with Mr. and Mrs. Harold Deichert to instruct the road superintendent to take specific action as soon as possible to alleviate the Water problem the couple had com- plained about when they ap- peared before council at the January 4 meeting. The north and south catch basins will be blocked, filled with stone and the ends of the tiles capped. A culvert will be installed at the original location, and the south inlet at the gateway leading to the shed on the west side of the road will be blocked. Dan Kennaley and John Schwindt, representing the Ausable-Bayfield Conserva- tion Authority, put on a slide presentation to explain the Apthority's flood plain managemen', water sampl- ing' program (including con- cerns regarding manure: handling), erosion control measures, tree planting and windbreak programs, and the many other areas where the Authority and township residents have mutual in- terests in caring for the land. Kennaley explained the beneficial effects of the }fay swamp, saying water corning from Exeter via the Ausable is bad; the quality of water leaving the area after a lot of harmful baceteria have been filtered out in the swamp is average for the watershed area. Kennaley also commended the residents of Hay for mak- ing better use of the tree - planting program Than any other municipality within the Authority's jurisdiction.

If more than 1,000 trees are involved, the Authority will plant them at a charge of $50. per thousand. Six-foot maples, spruce and cedars for windbreaks at a subsidiz- ed cost of $3 per tree are also available. Steve Burns, representing the Burns Ross consulting firm, attended the meeting to bring council up to date on the water supply situation in Hay and area. Because many of those dissatisfied with the quality of water in the township are seasonal residents, the ministry of the environment has given a low priority to funding a new water supply along highway 21, and says no grant money is available. In order to generate more interest, the consulting firm has prepared a questionnaire to be sent to every ratepayer on both sides of the -highway from Grand Bend to Drysdale, asking their opi- nion on the quality, quantity, need for a new water source and additional comments. The data will be collated when the forms are returned by March 1, giving council a Netter indication of what ratepayers want. A public meeting to discuss the water problem wjlt beheld in the township hall on .iuty 19. Burns warned that if work is not begun by the end of 1983, the consulting. engineer's report will no longer be valid. The Environment Assess- ment Act, now law, exempts from its provisions projects initiated before June 1980 on which construction begins before the end of this year. All others must comply with the new provisions of the Act, which would mean going back almost to square one with preparation of a new report. The lease with Mrs. Anastasia Marten for the waste disposal -site has been signed for another two years at the same rental of $150 per annum. Hay township council voted to support the resolution originating with the town bf Exeter suggesting municipalities withhold the education portion of un- collected taxes until they receive the money. The recreation committee to serve the township for the next three years will be Carol Dietz, Bernie Denomme; Elaine Datars. Bill Russell, George Tiernan, and council representatives John Elder and Tony Bedard.
